INFAMOUS DANCE HOUSES.
TIE TERRIBLE STORY OF AN IN.
NOCENT VICTIM.
The Brutal Treatment the Kid
mapped Girls Were. Forced TO
Undergo-Crimes.

DEPOT, MICH, January 23.-DuT-
ing the last week bill was introduced
in the Michigan Legislature to cup
press the infamous dance houses in the
lumber camps Of the upper Peninsula.
The orst stories from that region are
eorroborsted by the story OF one OF the
victims OF the infamous traffic. In the
Detroit House OF Correction sre eight
women who were sentenced TO one
years imprisonment for being found
In one of these dens. When the house
was raided nine women were captured.
One OF these was ssnt to the hospital
sufferirg iIom horrible disease aud
the other eight were brought here.
Two OF these are in the prison hos
pital. Ole known as Minnie, will be
released and will leave in few days
TO 20 TO her home in the Eist to die.
In view OF the pending legislation, the
Free Pres will tomorT publish an
interview with this last named, which
gives en- account OF life, the horror
OF which can scarcely be msgined.
On promise OF employment, Minnie,
whose husband had deserted her in
Chicago, was induced to go 10 a camp
near Msnominee by cheap res aurant
keeper, named William Gaines, Of
No. Iii Halsted STREET, Chicago. Net
uutil her arrival in the lumber region
did che realize the life she was to
lead, aud then the lack Of funds pre-
vented her from returning. BY free
she was compelled to do the bidding
OF the fiends who kept the hell 10
which she was confined. Kicks and
bestUgs were frequent; the shanty
in which they were penned was sur
rounded by high palsadts, and thir-
teen bloodhouuds further prevented
escape. All at emp,s 10 communicate
with the outer world were frustrated.
Once the attention OF the authorities
was attracted and a deputy sheriff
called TO investigate. He was given
$50, and left. The girls story has
been verified by the Superintendent
OF the House OF Correction, after
careful Investigation. What is pub
lished is but hint OF the life led in
these dens OF infsmy, the details being
too revolving for publication.

learn the cause. 1t was ascertained
that four boiltrs Of battery of elk had
burst, spreading death and disaster in
their wake. For some lime after the
explosion it wa, imp 1ssibe to tell
what damage had been done, the
shower OF dust, brick and mortar CON-
pletely shu tug the mill from view.
When the debris had settled II was
found that the fire nan, George Patter-
son, had been instantly killed. His
body was maDgled almost beyond rec
ogniIion. William Corville, an EN-.
ploye, who was given work four days
ago, was picked up from under the
boilers in dying condition. He was
scalded with steam and will not re-
cover. He came here from Bethle-
hem, Pa, last week. Barkley Knock
ton, a puddler, was hit on the head
with flying bricks and painfully in
jured. M. M. MillhollaId, a helper,
had one leg hurt and was otherwise
slightly injured. Several others re-
ceived slight burns and bruises, but
were MT seriously hurt. The ruin
wrought in the mill by the explosion
was complete. The building was laid
low ami the machinery broken and
scattered in all directions. The force
of the explosion must have been ter
rife, as laTgs pieces OF "oiler iron were
found hundreds of yards from the
scene OF the dissster. One piece,
weigh ing as least 1000 pounds, cut its
way through the entire mill and fell
on the public road fully 500 yards dis.

exceed $50 600. The cause OF the ex-
plosion is not yet known, but an in
vestigation is now in progress. For
tunately there were very few men at
work at the time, or the list of dead
and injured would have been greater.
The mill was one of the largest in the
city and ives the first one to use nstu-
raj gas.
William Corville, who was 30 terri
bly, scalded, died about IL o'clock this
morning. Twelve persons were more
or less injured by the steam or flying
debris, but none OF the others will die
Engineer Williams Gays that he tried
the gauges ten minu es before the
boilers burst and that there was plenty
OF water. The battery had been in use
two years and at the last inspection
